Perskie Photographics & Design began as Perskie Studio in 1889 by my Grandfather Jacob Perskie. In 1934 my dad Leon moved to Baltimore to marry my mom in 1934 and decided to open a studio downtown at Howard & Lexington Streets. Who knew then that it was the bottom of the depression; there is a lesson in this for all of us in business today! Wedding album and wedding photography did not begin until after WWII. In fact my dad “May Have” invented the parent album!! In 1969 I was asked to help out in the business for “Just a FEW Weeks”. I have always loved doing wedding photography more then any other kind of photography. Give me 40 neurotic people in a small room who can’t get along and to me it’s just a piece of cake. Give me an 18 month old child for a portrait and it takes 6 months off my life.
In 1972 we put in our own Pro color lab in my dad’s basement. In 1934 we opened the Professional Photographer’s Wedding Lab to local and out of state photographers. In 2002 we went completely digital (we were an early adopter) and renamed ourselves The Wedding Lab and stated doing the designer albums for photographers from Alaska to Ireland and even now Guam. We do all the designing, printing and even make the albums here. Our Family has also been the “Official” Photographer to Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson and Carter. We know of no other photography family in the US who has been a family owned and operated business for all these years. We are truly a “Baltimore Tradition”.
Because we can do everything in house with no outsourcing, we can offer our studio clients a great value. I am blessed with a wonderful small staff of talented photographers. My daughters Julia and Hannah Perskie are the 4th generation Perskie photographers and act as 2nd photographer on some of our weddings. Being in house also allows us to explore new cutting edge ideas. We just started offering on site printing of photos of wedding guests as an option for our brides. We had a great 2008 and look forward to a good 2009 and beyond. People WILL continue |

Holiday Bash a Success!!!
On Monday, December 15, 2008 at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture, over 325 people were in attendance at the 2008 Hospitality Industry Holiday Bash: Red, Hot and Green!
Among them were over 150 members of Baltimore NACE and for that we say Thank You! Our guests enjoyed delicious fare from 16 caterers/restaurants, fabulous donated decor and entertainment. As you many of you know, the funds raised directly benefit the Hospitality and Tourism School of the National Academy Foundation High School and your support was most appreciated. This event would not have been a success without the participation from all of our members! |
